Chained to Another – Scott Hoefker – August 12, 2023
“Chaining ourselves” to the needs and concerns of another and taking them before our Father in prayer is a vital part of our calling!

Sometimes every Christian that God calls to walk the path of his way of life can lose direction, lose heart, or walk away because the journey appears to be impossible. No one is immune. The book of Hebrews gives us five matters of the heart that can cause these issues. We should not fear these matters of the heart, because each of us will face them at some point in our lives. If we don’t, how can we help and teach others to stay the course. Today we’re going to examine the five matters of the Heart that can cause us to drift away from the path of salvation.
What is the greatest commandment? Jesus provides us with the answer in Matthew 22:37. Looks look at the detail behind this verse.
We have been called to be alone. However, God’s Word says that we truly are not alone. Salvation is personal and individual, not collective.
James 3 has much to say about our words and our tongue. What we say is important in our relationship with each other and our Heavenly Father.
In this message, we will carefully examine John 10:1-30 to glean Christ’s intention to understand this parable.
As we reflect on this upcoming 4th of July (Independence Day for the U.S.) we must remember with diligence and watching, that in the future, all will have permanent freedom!
Some of the first words Jesus spoke to the world were “to repent and believe in the gospel”. Those two concepts: repent and believe are critical to our relationship with Jesus Christ and His father.
As we struggle with challenges in this life, we must not forget what God has planned for us from the beginning.
